Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an austenitic cobalt stainless steel ultra resistant to erosive cavitation.
  • Patent application EP-A 0 171 336 filed on June 24, 1985 by the Applicant describes and claims an austenitic stainless steel with cobalt having a very high resistance to high intensity erosive cavitation, which steel is, by its resistance, all particularly useful for the manufacture or repair of parts of hydraulic machines.
  • the composition as well as the very particular structure of this stainless steel were "selected" by the inventor after numerous searches carried out following the discovery of the fact that the Low hardness cobalt stainless steels containing as little as 8% by weight of cobalt have an erosive cavitation resistance as good as that of alloys containing up to 65% cobalt, provided that at least 60% by weight of said stainless steels with a low cobalt content, ie, at ambient temperature, in a cubic phase with a metastable centered face therein having a sufficiently low stacking energy so that it can be transformed under the effect of the cavitation in a compact hexagonal phase s and / or in martensite a showing a fine warping of deformation.
  • the present invention is based on the discovery of the fact that results and advantages similar to those previously mentioned, namely a very high resistance to erosive cavitation, a relatively low cost price and a multitude of possible uses, in particular for the manufacture of hydraulic machine parts, can be obtained with harder cobalt stainless steels, which may contain up to 2% by weight of carbon, up to 5% by weight of silicon and up to 16% by weight of manganese.
  • (c) its content of elements known as ferritizing agents (Cr, Mo, Si), in elements known as austenitizing agents (C, N, Co, Ni, Mn) and, among these ferritating and austenitic elements, in elements known to increase or to decrease the stacking fault energy is suitably chosen and adjusted so that at least 60% by weight of the steel is, at ambient temperature, in a face-centered cubic phase having a fault energy sufficiently weak stacking to present under the effect of cavitation, a fine deformation chewing or to, alternatively, be able to transform under the cavitation effect, into a compact hexagonal phase s and / or into martensite showing a fine deformation deformation.
  • At least 60% by weight of the cobalt stainless steel according to the invention must be, at ambient temperature, in a cubic phase with a face centered with the lowest possible stack fault energy.
  • This latter condition namely a very low stack fault energy of the face-centered cubic austenitic phase y
  • This deformation can be carried out in certain cases without phase change.
  • This deformation can also be obtained by transformation of the cubic phase with face centered y, into compact hexagonal phase e and / or into martensite a.
  • This possibility of a deformation or a phase transformation under the effect of cavitation, so as to show a fine weaving, is specific to crystals with low energy of stacking fault.
  • To obtain this low stack fault energy it is necessary to take into account the capacity of each element to lower or increase the stack fault energy, and to adjust the respective content of the various elements chosen to constitute the steel, so that the stacking fault energy of all of the combined elements is low enough to obtain a fine warping when the steel is subject to cavitation.
  • the elements known to increase the stack fault energy (EFE) one can cite Ni and C.
  • those known to lower the EFE one can cite Cp, Si, Mn and N.
  • the stainless steel according to the invention which contains less than 30% by weight of cobalt and up to 70% by weight of iron, could thus have as low a stacking fault energy as that of alloys with a high cobalt content, and a substantially identical fine deformation coupling (see also the article by DA Woodford and AI, "A Deformation Induced Phase Transformation Involving a Four-Layer Stacking Sequence in Co-Fe AI-loy ", Met. Trans., Vol.2, page 3223.1971) where it is indicated that in Fe-Co alloys, only 15% by weight of iron is sufficient to completely remove the transformation induced by cavitation from phase y to phase s).
  • chromium has a very strong interaction with cobalt and iron to promote the formation of low energy crystals due to stacking failure.
  • the surface layer of the Fe-Cr-Co-C alloys according to the invention shows, after exposure to cavitation, a very fine mesh network in a cubic phase with centered face (phase y), in a compact hexagonal phase (phase s) or in a martensitic phase a.
  • phase y cubic phase with centered face
  • phase s compact hexagonal phase
  • martensitic phase a martensitic phase
  • the localized hardening associated with this fine chewing ensures an extension of the chewing to the whole exposed surface at the beginning of the exposure to cavitation (incubation period). This explains why the exposed surface remains so flat and smooth during the incubation period, if we compare it to the high relief surface that we obtain with more deformable materials. Smoother surfaces are, in fact, less prone to attack by localized tangential microjets than occur during each implosion due to cavitation. Thus, during the incubation period, the only surface relief experienced by the cobalt stainless steels according to the invention is the aforementioned fine deformation coupling. This fine chewing leads to very low rates of erosion taking into account the fact that the particles eroded at the junction of the meshes are very fine. The large quantity of newly created surfaces for a given quantity of metal lost by erosion is another effective means of absorbing the energy of incident cavitation.
  • the Co stainless steels according to the invention are soft. These steels are less expensive than conventional alloys with a high Co content such as STELLITE 6 TM or STELLITE 21TM, while having substantially the same resistance to cavitation. As a result, the stainless steel according to the invention offers an economical alternative to alloys of the STELLITE 21 TM type currently used to protect hydraulic machines against the effects of erosive cavitation. Welding wires or electrodes made from the steel according to the invention can be used to repair damage due to cavitation. Parts of hydraulic machines or entire groups can also be cast or completely covered with this steel which is cheaper than STELLITE and is capable of being hot and cold rolled for the development and manufacture of hydraulic machine elements with high resistance to cavitation.
  • the invention has for another object any stainless steel part for the manufacture or repair of hydraulic machines, when said part is made or covered with a Co stainless steel with high resistance to cavitation according to the invention.
  • the stainless steel parts according to the invention have a cavitation resistance at least equal to the parts made of harder alloys of the STELLITE-1 or -6 type. Since the stainless steels according to the invention are soft, they are much easier to grind. In fact, the parts according to the invention have all the advantages of parts made from soft alloys with a high Co content, of the STELLITE-21 type, but at a lower cost.
  • the resistance to erosive cavitation of the steels and alloys tested was measured by ultrasonic cavitation test according to standard ASTM-G32.
  • the weight losses of 16 mm cylindrical samples vibrating at 20 kHz at a double amplitude of 50 ⁇ m in distilled water at 22 ° C were measured every five hours for twenty five hours using a precise electrical balance to the tenth of a milligram.
  • the materials tested are listed in the following TABLE I, where their nominal composition, their hardness and their cavitation erosion rate are also found. i
  • Co steels according to the invention listed in the TABLE were prepared by melting on a copper plate cooled with water in a small laboratory arc furnace or in an induction furnace, an appropriate mixture of several of the following constituents : carbon steel, stainless steel 304, STELLITE 21, ferrochrome, electrolytic cobalt, ferromanganese and ferrosilicon. It should be noted that the compositions of all these experimental steels with the exception of the two STELLITES which were tested for reference, all fall within the composition range of the cobalt stainless steel according to the invention.
  • the content of the cobalt stainless steel according to the invention in elements known as ferritisants (Cr, Mo, Si) and austenitisants (C, N, Co, Ni, Mn) must be appropriately chosen and adjusted so as to stabilize the austenite, particularly in the case of rapid cooling, so as to promote deformation of the y phase or an induced transformation of this y phase into the s phase or in martensite, the high resistance to cavitation of the steels according to the invention resulting mainly from their composition where the elements known to increase the energy of stacking fault, namely, for example, nickel, are replaced as much as possible by elements known to lower this stacking fault energy such as Co, Si, Mn and N and thus lead to finer deformation coupling.
  • ferritisants Cr, Mo, Si
  • austenitisants C, N, Co, Ni, Mn
  • the cobalt stainless steels according to the invention can advantageously be used for the manufacture and repair of parts or groups of hydraulic machines, such as turbines, pumps, taps, etc. They can be used either as coverings welded on carbon steel, either as base material, cast or in the form of sheet metal, for the manufacture of machines made of stainless steel. These steels can also be hot or cold rolled and developed into welding wires or electrodes to replace the much more expensive STELLITE-21 used to repair cavitation damage in hydraulic turbines.
